No your getting that mixed up with the events of 97-98. Long story short, Mike was upset and frustrated over his loosing control of the bands direction (which in turn went to the label execs). Mind you, this was something he was wary of, but was willing to give a try, but really didn't like all the extra people trying to mainstream DT's sound and songwriting. If memory serves me correctly, a day or two before the fan club show in Rotterdam, Mike announced he was quitting the band, but fortunately the other band members convinced him to give it a little time and think things over before making that decision permanent. He did...the rest is history.

Damn, it is cool being a college music director! Anyway, thought some of you might like to check it out. Winds--Reflections of the I. It is out on The End Records. It is the same company that put out one of my favorite records of the year, Green Carnation -- Light of Day, Day of Darkness. The album is prog-metal. It is a concept album as far as I can tell. All of the instrumentation is top notch. The vocalist doesn't have a huge range but he can sing. One reason I do like the vocals is that they don't sound wimpy/cheese. There are some interesting elements to their sound. One thing I noticed right away was the violin player, Vegard Johnsen. The way the band utilizes the violin reminds me of Jerry Goodman in the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I am not a fan of classical string instruments in metal/prog-metal (or whatever the fashionable term of the day may be). However, it works for me in this instance. It doesn't come off sounding cheesy like Therion. The guitar player, Carl Tidemann, is good. He plays in that neo-classical style. Thankfully, he knows when to stop unlike some. Andy Winter plays keys. He is an atmosphere type player, which works for me just fine. The drummer is solid.

"To all Progression subscribers and readers: The anticipated mailing date for the long-delayed issue No. 40 is now late May. We are now in the final stage of production and plan to go to print the week of May 6. I apologize for this, and anticipate that once issue No. 40 is out, our regular publication schedule will resume. Though I have been reluctant to share details of a highly personal nature, I have struggled with a serious health problem that compromised progress on the new issue, along with the recent death of my mother. These factors, coupled with computer-related snafus of a few months ago (which deleted two-thirds of issue 40's advertising content), the effects of Sept. 11 on mail and newsstand deliveries, and other unforseen obstacles, snowballed into this lengthy delay. I am confident that the worst is now behind, and look forward to a great 2002 for Progression, now in its 10th year of publication. The summer issue of Progression, No. 41, will be a special Tenth Anniversary edition. Again, my apologies for this unforeseen delay. Anyone with questions related to their subscription, or delivery of back issues, is welcome to call me at (800) 545-7371 or (978) 970-2728. And, if you plan to attend the upcoming NEARfest festivals, please drop by the Progression table and say hello. Kind regards, John Collinge, Publisher, Progression Magazine. Progression issue No. 40 will include the following: * A full-length CD sampler from the Shroom Records label. * Feature interviews with: Jean-Luc Ponty, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, Cairo, Ken Baird, Michelle Young, guitarist Rick Ray, Zero Hour, NEARfest organizers Chad Hutchinson and Rob LaDuca. * Feature on King's X vocalist Doug Pinnick. * Coverage of the NEARfest 2001, Progday 2001 and ProgPower 2001 festivals. * Analysis of the neo-progressive movement, by noted prog author Jerry Lucky. * Analysis of progressive music's romantic tradition, by David Layton. * All regular columnists, news and reviews. AND also: Metalblade news: "Cattle Decapitation has finished recording their next CD." Many farmers MAY be aggitated about this. Remember, I don't make it up, I just report it... lol/np - Your Friendly Neighborhood Allroundniceguy Scott Mosher - The VIRTUALITY CD http://www.theambientmind.com/virtuality/ "Virtuality" song: http://www.theambientmind.com/virtuality.mp3 "When I was younger I hated going to weddings...it seemed that all of the aunts and the grandmotherly types would come up to me, poke me in the ribs, and tell me, "You're next."
